YOU ARE A PROFESSIONAL – FLEX YOUR CREATIVE MUSCLES:
Pattern editor:
The Pattern Editor helps you create rhythms and songs by easily controlling pitch, speed and steps. With the Pattern Editor, you can easily edit values in the sequencer like you would in a DAW, customize curve and envelope types, snap notes to a grid, randomize values, and save presets.
DON’T FORGET TO ADD THE SAUCE:
Run it Back:
Choose a mode to play pads in a loop, one shot, or hold mode and move through the patterns available to you.
One Shot: Plays the selected pad pattern to the end, then returns to the previous pad.
Loop: The default behavior is that the pad pattern always loops.
Hold: Plays the selected pad pattern while the pad is held, then returns to the previous pad.
Changelog v1.1.0 :
Flex Beat 1.1 adds support for exporting preset banks from the full version of Flex Beat to Flex Beat Player.
Once the .xpl file has been exported, it can be imported using the ‘Load Preset’ function in the desktop or standalone MPC version of Flex Beat Player.
